I got an SSD drive for my video computer -- and then brought it back. The only noticable improvement I saw was in boot time -- and since I usually just put my computers to sleep (rather than turning them off) I was getting absolutely nothing out of it. I ran all kinds of tests. The access times shown by the benchmarks were all greatly improved and really impressive -- but none of the real work was getting done any faster. I couldn't see justifying that kind of expense just so my apps would load in .5 seconds instead of .6 seconds.

In fact, I even formatted it three times so I could try it on 3 different computers (I really wanted to keep it) -- none of them seemed to show anything worthwhile (other than boot times). I even ran BD Rebuilder with the the working folder on the SSD. That also resulted in a big nothing-burger.
